Regular Season Round 144: Denver N. - San Antonio S. 115-112

Date: March 23, 2011
The old Nuggets couldn't beat the San Antonio Spurs. The new-look Nuggets found a way. Wilson Chandler hit a go-ahead jumper with 29.3 seconds remaining, and the Nuggets beat the Spurs for the first time this season, 115-112 on Wednesday night. Denver improved to 11-4 since pulling off the blockbuster deal on Feb. 22 that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York, and reshaped the Nuggets' roster with a bevy of newcomers and altered roles for holdovers. "They're a little more unpredictable," said the Spurs' Manu Ginobili, who missed a game-tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer. "They have a bunch of players that can score and they can go to down the stretch." The Nuggets snapped a five-game losing streak to the Spurs, including three previous encounters this season, behind inspired play from the reserves. Al Harrington led Denver with 27 points. Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith each added 18 points. Felton and Chandler, who had eight points, were among the players sent to Denver as part of the Anthony deal. Gary Neal had 25 points for the Spurs, who lead the Western Conference and have already clinched a playoff spot. Ginobili had 20 points, and Tony Parker added 19. *Courtesy of ESPN
